I have not use prescribed pain meds yet, but the last week the over the counter stuff not working and I’m afraid to depend on narcotics
Yes I take oxycodone 3x a day
@A MyLupusTeam Member I'm on plaquenil and imuran, and the pain stopped for the time being.
I also was on prednisone not so long ago, for 20 days.
I rarely take pain meds. Since I started treatment with imunossupressants I find they deal with the pain much better than any NSAIDs. When the pain hits harder, my rheumatologist tells me to take prednisone for a few weeks or days.
I've never taken tramadol, but have read it is addictive. Am I wrong?
Hugs to you!
Started Tramadol in 2007 and it worked for several years. Now take stronger. I couldn't have worked without the pain meds the last 10 years. Sometimes the meds don't knock down all the pain so I suffer.
I can’t take anything except tylenol because of GAVE. I want to try CBD oil and see if that helps with some of my symptoms.
